Find nearest hydrant

Is there anyway in Geocortex Workflow to find the nearest hydrant from a parcel/address based on a road network that doesn't take an insane amount of workflow fiddling or do I have to send users to a separate AGSOL web app to do this (very simple/rapid setup and deployment in AGSOL).

  Hi James,

   

  The way to do this in Workflow would be to use either the Route Task activity or the Geoprocessor activity.  With the Route Task, you would use the Route Closest Facility operation to locate the closest hydrant, by drive time or drive distance.

   

  With a geoprocessor, you create the operations in ArcMap and publish the geoprocessing task as a service, which is then consumed in Workflow.

   

  Both choices are going to have some amount of configuration, so depending on your user needs and usage patterns it might be a lot simpler to just send the user to a new website to get the job done.  The Route Task in particular requires an intimate knowledge of how to create and set the parameters for routing, and also how to interpret the results on the map (since you get some RouteEventArgs back, which then need to be inspected to figure out what happened)

   

  Regards,
